The most 'interesting' conversation about the quarterback situation at the top of the draft is the entire world assuming Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud are interchangeable. Everyone shrugs and presupposes the Texans are taking whomever the Panthers don't take at No. 1. Carolina is taking a quarterback (unless the Panthers are running a 'Truman Show'-style NFL experiment), but the Texans aren't required to just get the Panthers' leftovers because we assume they have to. Houston could see its current NFL status as an improving team/roster capable of getting even better by adding an elite Alabama defensive player. If you think that's crazy, please remember the Texans' head coach is exactly that: an elite former 'Bama defensive player.
